Under the SK Reform Act, Sangguniang Kabataan candidates will have to be

Applications for membership of the Katipunan ng Kabataan (KK), for voters

aged 15 to 30 years old.

Meanwhile, the campaign period for candidates will be on

Prohibited acts during this time include removing, destroying, obliterating,

defacing, tampering or preventing distribution of lawful election propaganda;
making any donation or gift in cash or in kind; using armored land, water or air
craft; appointing or using special policemen, special/confidential agents of the
like; and construction or maintenance of provincial, city, municipal or barangay
funded roads and bridges.

Unlike the May 9 polls, the barangay and SK elections will be manual.

Comelec Chairman Andres Bautista: the poll body continues to prepare for the
barangay and SK elections, though it would be more practical if the polls
would be held together with the election of delegates for the Constitutional
Convention, should it be approved by Congress for 2017.

Bautista: the poll body will save P5 to P6 billion this way.
